พระราชวังสราญรมย์
Saranrom Palace stands in Bangkok as a former royal residence, with architecture shaped during construction begun in 1866. Henry Alabaster designed the palace while serving as deputy consul general at the British Embassy. King Rama IV intended the residence as his retirement home and a place for advising on state affairs. He died in 1868, before construction ended.
Early in Rama V’s reign, princes leaving the Grand Palace lived here temporarily, including Chaturonrasmi and Bhanurangsi Savangwongse. Foreign guests later stayed here, including Prince Oscar Bernadotte of Sweden and Nicholas II of Russia. Under Rama VII, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs took over the palace, which served as its headquarters until 1992. The ASEAN Declaration was signed here in 1967, marking the association’s establishment.
The building houses the Museum of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs beside Saranrom Park. Victorian-style pavilions and lush greenery preserve the character of Bangkok’s first botanic garden, established as a royal park in 1866.
